My Love Came Back is a 1940 American comedy-drama film directed by Curtis Bernhardt and starring Olivia de Havilland, Jeffrey Lynn, Eddie Albert, and Jane Wyman.

The film is notable for Heinz Eric Roemheld's musical direction and Ray Heindorf's unique swing orchestral arrangements of classical pieces.

Frustrated by her financial constraints and at being treated like a child by the dean, Amelia decides to leave the academy and join a jazz group led by her fellow student and swing bandleader Dusty Rhodes.

After Amelia meets her patron, the kind and gentlemanly president sends her a phonograph player and records, and escorts her to concerts to broaden her musical experience.

Soon after, Julius and his wife organize a party and hire Amelia's roommate, Joy O'Keefe, and her boyfriend, Dusty Rhodes, to provide an evening of innovative classical and swing music.

My Love Came Back is based on the Austrian film Episode, which was directed by Walter Reisch and starred Paula Wessely and Karl Ludwig Diehl.

[3] Crowther praised Kurt Bernhardt for his directing the film "in a spirit of pure delight",[3] and Ivan Goff, Robert Buckner, and Earl Baldwin for their effervescent writing.

[3] Crowther also praised the cast for their "gayly scampering performance",[3] noting: As the compromised young heroine of the show, Miss De Havilland plays the part with pace and wit.
